If you are looking for an AA flight, use the AA booking tool. It will return results for both AA (can be very rare trans-atlantic) and BA (common for the transatlantic leg).
I've done a lot of searching over the last week or so, the AA site's availability has been spot on (QF could see everything). However... results can vary depending on which page you start your search. If you search from the homepage results can often be limited. Going to the 'plan travel' tab at the top of the page, then the 'flights' tab. This opens up a lot more availability as it defaults to 'all airlines' rather than just AA.
Connecting AA flights in the USA can be difficult for QF to see. In those cases you might need to feed them airport by airport.
